Crispy potato slices with a crunchy cornmeal coating, seasoned with onion salt and pepper, perfect as a snack or side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes and slice them 1/4-inch thick.
- Put the potato slices in cold water and soak for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the cornmeal mixture. If you want a gluten-free option, replace cornmeal with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs. Ensure that the potatoes are fully submerged during soaking to prevent discoloration. Pat the slices dry before coating for better adherence of the cornmeal mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These potato slices make a great appetizer or side dish. Serve them hot with a dipping sauce like ranch or aioli for added flavor. They pair beautifully with Roast Chicken Stuffing, making it a perfect complement for a hearty meal. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover potato slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes until crispy. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use sweet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes for a different flavor. Sweet potatoes will add a hint of sweetness and a vibrant color, while Yukon Golds offer a creamy texture. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as they may vary in thickness.
How can I make these slices spicier?
To add some heat, mix cayenne pepper or chili powder into the cornmeal coating. You can also sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes over the potato slices before baking. Adjust the amount to your spice preference, but start with a small amount to avoid overpowering the dish.
Can I bake these potato slices instead of frying them?
Absolutely! Baking is a healthier alternative. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), place the coated slices on a greased baking sheet, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
